Navigating Technology and Tween\/Teen Well-Being: A Program for Families with Dr. Jill Walsh
Advertisement
This interactive evening gives families and their youth shared language, knowledge, and practical strategies to support healthier, more balanced technology use.
Phones, social media, gaming, group chats, iPads and AI are a daily part of young people’s lives: shaping how they connect, learn, and see themselves. Join Dr. Jill Walsh, Boston University sociologist and researcher on social media and adolescent development, for an engaging, research-informed program designed for both parents/caregivers and students.
Separate sessions for parents/caregivers and students will be held simultaneously and explore how digital media and online platforms influence identity, stress, relationships, and mental health — and how to make technology work for your family, not against it.
This FREE event is brought to the community by: Spark Kindness, Natick 180, Natick Health Department, Natick Supports Mental Health, Natick Public Schools, Town of Natick, and Natick Above The Influence.
